Counting Crows and November Snows

Counting Crows and November Snows

 

 

There is a void

that punctuates my tears

 

A parade of years

are all that is left me,

 

to counting crows

and November snows.

This made me think of a couple that had spent so many years together and have it abruptly ended. It reminded me of my grandfather after my grandmother passed. He lived on for a several years, but was never the same. This is well use of a small amount of words. Nice job.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I am thankful it conjured up such vivid memories for you, Francis...thank you!

[Francis Orion]

No thank you. It was an important time in my life, that is good to be reminded about from time to time.

[Alfred Kukitz]

Oh those long years of tears that amount to the void, no music, no cheers, just there without any dressings. This is sad coloring black!

I know this crayon!

Love,
Al

...between you and me, Alfred, I wrote this in memory of my mom. Thank you!

[Alfred Kukitz]

She had you it couldn't been all void.

Beautifully written. Elegant, poignant words that conjure a never ending loop of memories play out, while you stare into the distance. I know that feeling well. Superbly written.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you so much, Lorry. ...it meant a lot to me!

[terry smith]

..as you watch the ghost parade of days gone by, and everyone else sees a sad person standing alone in the rain...nicely done Kelly!! :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

...thank you, Terry. Your mention of rain took me by surprise, but I'm delighted you enjoyed it!

[terry smith]

...to me if it was snowing I would build an army of snowmen to watch the parade with me...hence the rain...

[Kelly Scheppers]

...ok, I got it now! I miss snowmen, living here in Cali! They're one of my favorite decorations at Christmas.

[terry smith]

:) at Christmas time I will make you a snowman and put the pic on here!! :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

...aww, really? Lol, ok!!

[terry smith]

Yes!! as soon as we get some snow :)

A reflective write I felt, on where all the years passed in a parade have gone so quickly leaving one alone to ponder on what was and what is left, maybe in a void of a love lost. A simply beautiful write Kelly.

I can see the seasons speak to many of us for many a reason. Thank you, Andrew!

[Autumn Lyric]

Wow! Amazing verse. Says so much about the sights and sounds of loneliness and losing someone very special to your heart and how life is so empty without them...The title is great; unforgettable. A pleasure to read your work.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you for making my day, LaShaye. I was hoping the brevity of my words would speak volumes.

[Coyote Poetry]

A very good poem. Made the reader think and ponder.
"to counting crows
and November snows."
With aging. Seasons become more important. We are left to looking at life with experience eyes. Thank you Kelly for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Such a lovely analogy, John. I hadn't really thought how aging would play into this, but it does, and I thank you for that perspective!

[Coyote Poetry]

Old age. More crows to count and you are welcome Kelly.

I've known the depth and dark and hopelessness of a void, more than one has drawn me in, but i've crawled out, and found wonderful friends, and new things to discover, but You know this, being one of them,, well written, as always my dear..

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you so much, Dan!
